I know we live crazy times but it bears saying: a situation like this (government shutdown, ICE) wouldn't happen in other Western countries. If the system can be gamed and lead to insane situations, it needs to change. It won't change with the same actors (politicians).

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

Just remembering that Dick Cheney secretly intervened in a dispute over the Klamath River in 2001--and caused the biggest fish die-off in US history, with ~77,000 fully grown adult salmon piled on the banks of the river.

I started watching Adolescence and I'm stunned by the amount of work it must have taken to organize each episode. Rn I'm trying to help organize our Extra Life 24h livestream in one room, managing lots of small details, but this is like thousands of big details to plan, train for and execute on.

There's one tiny little thing that made me very happy this week: I remembered that 1.5 years ago I shared an idea on a Miro board and it may have been one of the many ideas that contributed to the story/setting of our latest expansion (credits to the GW2 development team, they do all the work)

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."
